Govt support for Nyrstar
The Australian government, in partnership with the South Australian and Tasmanian governments, will provide a further A$105 million to support Nyrstar to progress key feasibility work at the Port Pirie and Hobart operations.
This funding will support continued operations at the Port Pirie and Hobart smelters during 2026, helping maintain vital industrial capability and thousands of jobs, while Nyrstar continues detailed work on future investment decisions at both sites. As part of the extension of government support, Nyrstar will participate in a joint review in the coming months which will provide governments with a clear, shared framework to determine the long-term pathway for these sites.
